Overload Circuit Breaker
The overload circuit breaker cuts off the
power supply to the unit in case of
mechanical overload. This can occur, for
example, if the blower wheel is blocked.
If the overload circuit breaker has cut off
the power supply:
Switch off the unit and disconnect
N
the plug from the power outlet.
Determine why the overload circuit
N
breaker has tripped and rectify the
problem.
Wait about 3 to 5 minutes for the
N
overload circuit breaker to cool
down – do not switch on the unit
during this period because the
cooling down time will otherwise be
much longer.
Connect the plug to the power outlet
N
and switch on the unit.
If the motor does not start when you
switch on, the overload circuit breaker
has not cooled down sufficiently.
